You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

Chapter 88 The Influence of the Covenant of Nations

"Kunlun slave?!"

The moment the tenth opponent appeared, someone in the stands of the circular arena gasped in surprise.

Lu Heng's opponent had skin as black as ink, and his eyes were wide open like copper bells, showing no sign of reason.

All that remained was wildness and madness; his limbs were as thick as cast iron, and every inch of his muscles exuded inhuman brute force.

Its forehead, shoulders, neck, and forearms are covered with fine and intricate dark patterns.

His aura clearly indicated that he had reached the peak of the Body Refinement Secret Realm.

Compared to normal cultivators in the Body Refinement Secret Realm, his aura was turbid, fierce, and violent, carrying a savage and oppressive feeling that did not belong to the human race.

"This aura is not right—" Lu Heng immediately became alert.

His opponent in his tenth underground boxing match was not only of an unexpected racial origin, but also exuded a frenzied aura similar to that of the middle-aged demonic cultivator after the explosion of his life-burning secret technique, yet it was more than that.

Deep within that aura lay a primal, almost ferocious, wildness.

It doesn't feel like a human being, but more like a weapon whose bestial nature has been awakened.

"Demon bloodline." A clear voice appeared, and the remnant soul within the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant spoke.

"This Kunlun slave not only practiced a crude body-refining technique that overdraws life force and is close to demonic cultivation, but also has demon blood mixed in with his body."

The patterns on his body, seemingly from a life-burning secret technique, were actually a forced suppression of the backlash, an awakening of his demon bloodline, and a brief burst of bloodline power.

They were likely mass-produced, disposable suicide soldiers.

In a short period of time, it is enough to unleash combat power comparable to that of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator.

Even if it's just about strength, remember, never confront it head-on.

"I knew underground boxing wouldn't give up so easily," Lu Heng thought to himself.

But he never expected that the underhanded tactics of underground boxing would be so ruthless and unexpected.

Or rather, in their eyes, even if the ten-game winning streak is taken away, they would never want to waste this opportunity to build momentum.

Before the match officially began, the host of the underground boxing ring, dressed in a black robe, slowly walked to the edge of the arena and clearly announced to the stands: "Fellow Daoists, distinguished guests! Today's tenth match is not only a life-or-death duel, but also the Kunlun slave that my underground boxing ring purchased from the Western Continent!"

They have already been carefully selected and bred using secret methods, tempered for many years, and rigorously trained. Once they arrive, they are already at the peak of the Body Refinement Secret Realm, ready to be used, and there is no need to raise them anymore!

From birth, they are bound by restrictions and have blood patterns engraved on them, and they cultivate a demonic body-refining technique that specifically overdraws their lifespan and unleashes their combat power.

Although he only has ten years left to live, within those ten years he will be absolutely obedient, have no rebellious intentions, and fight wherever he is told!

The most crucial one is—the Blood Burning Explosion Technique!

With just one command, it can be activated instantly, burning the demon bloodline hidden within the body and unleashing terrifying combat power no weaker than that of a Qi Refining Realm cultivator in a short period of time!

Imagine this: going out for training, escorting caravans, guarding residences, or seeking revenge against enemies—

With such a Kunlun slave by your side, you are invincible in the Body Refinement Realm and can also hold your own in the Qi Refining Realm. In times of crisis, he will be your most reliable bodyguard, your toughest shield, and your most ruthless trump card. At critical moments, he can save your life!

Furthermore, I, Black Fist, hereby solemnly promise that this batch of Western-imported Kunlun slaves, after the Universal Covenant, have all been certified by the Qinghe City government, with complete contracts and legitimate sources. Purchasing them constitutes legal private property, free from any karmic consequences, trouble, or future problems!

Today's viewing tickets are all from the event. As soon as the competition ended, tickets went on sale on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last!

Opportunity knocks but once.

After finishing his remarks, the host stepped down with a smile.

Below the arena, Lu Heng listened to the entire "GG" with a blank expression, but out of the corner of his eye, he clearly saw that many scions of aristocratic families in the stands were already showing their interest.

He frequently glanced at the Kunlun slave in the arena, his eyes fixed on him as if he were looking at a useful object.

Even if he wins this fight, the underground boxing team will still make a fortune by using his fame to hype up Kunlunnu.

If he loses, that would be the best possible outcome.

From the very beginning, he was used by underground boxing as a stepping stone to promote the import of Kunlun slaves from the West.

After all, in the previous matches, although he had a strong physical body and was genuinely at the peak of body refinement, he was still worlds apart from cultivators in the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

"Another Universal Covenant?!"

Lu Heng's first thought was not whether he could defeat his opponent, Kunlun Nu.

Instead, they noticed what the host of the underground boxing match was saying.

Following this momentous event, the world seems to be quietly changing.

But is this change ultimately good or bad?

Lu Heng has no intention of making a decision yet.

After all, many changes had already quietly spread before the signing of the Universal Covenant.

For example, the daily newspapers circulating within the Great Qi Dynasty, and the underground boxing rings that covered almost all the cities of the Great Qi Dynasty.

These changes actually occurred gradually and imperceptibly, and the signing of the Universal Covenant was more like a natural outcome.

"I don't want to think about it anymore."

Lu Heng shook his head, turned around, and walked onto the arena.

At the same moment, Kunlunnu, his opponent, also stepped onto the stage at the order.

Judging from its dull, lifeless eyes, Lu Heng was already certain that it lacked any self-awareness.

Or, to put it another way, their self-awareness is erased after the training is completed.

Weapons do not need self-awareness.

Lu Heng didn't have any deep feelings about this.

They only perceived a part of the reality of the Western continent from a specific point to a broader perspective.

The fact that even people can be directly forged into weapons is no different from the demonic path.

The reason why the current attitude towards the Great Qi Dynasty is still relatively friendly is probably because the current emperor has not yet entered his twilight years and the dynasty has not yet entered its final stage.

Lu Heng could easily guess what the scene would be like then.

"Let's talk about it then."

"Perhaps by then I'll be able to do something." Reflecting on his own growth rate, Lu Heng thought to himself.

With a non-human roar, the arcane patterns on the body of Kunlun Nu, who was standing opposite him, turned red. After his body transformed into a small giant, he pounced on him as commanded.

Lu Heng didn't even glance at the other person.

The biggest difference between humans and animals lies in intelligence.

Kunlun Nu, who unleashed his power through a secret technique, now possesses truly terrifying strength.

However, it would be fine if the Kunlun slaves still possessed their own consciousness, but in order to ensure absolute loyalty, their consciousness was erased.

Their combat skills are so poor that they lack even basic fighting techniques, making them resemble wild beasts.

Even when facing opponents from other Body Refinement Realms, who possessed proficient combat techniques, Kunlun Nu, after unleashing his secret techniques, could still crush them with sheer power.

Unfortunately—

With his first life leap, Lu Heng has reached the limit of the Body Refining Secret Realm in terms of power. Even if he is not as good as the Qi Refining Secret Realm, he will not be completely crushed.

In addition, with the minor-level "Basic Sword Techniques," it was actually not Kunlun Nu who was completely overwhelmed.

It was him!
